Whether a security breach originates via an insider through malice or negligence, or via an external hacker or a piece of malware, it’s now firmly established that misuse and abuse of privileged access plays a key role in the cyberattack lifecycle of most security breaches. Privileged accounts and credentials in Unix/Linux environments are high-value targets for attackers who are looking to fast-track their access to your most sensitive systems and data. Regardless of where the attacker started, once root or other privileged permissions are in hand, the attacker is essentially an insider with a truly dangerous amount of power at their disposal. Learn how to layer on critical security and auditability controls for key members of your IT organization – without disrupting productivity.

Each member of an IT organization has different responsibilities that require different levels of access and permissions. Enforcing least privilege is the best practice approach to protect each of your different Unix/Linux privileged accounts, while not adversely impacting productivity or administrator workflows. However, to enforce least privilege, it’s essential to understand the different risks and impacts inherent of key Unix/Linux privileged account types, such as System Administrators, Database Administrators, Application Administrators, Developers, and others. In this paper, we delve into the unique use cases and risks for various Unix/Linux Admin roles and provide best practices for managing privileged credentials and access. Download the paper to learn:
  • The specific security risks associated with different types of Unix/Linux privileged accounts
  • How to manage risk by applying the right controls around privileged access and credentials for various privilege user roles and use cases
  • The benefits of taking an integrated approach to addressing privileged access management
